Thanks for the link snowflake! Just what I'm after. With proper bracing, "just" 9mm of poplar ply can exceed the stiffness of 24mm birch plywood in cabinet. Add a CF/GF skin to that and you're fixing that wear resistance ![]() Nb. 'Proper bracing' involves multiple rounds in FEM analysis & isn't a walk in the park. With guessing the bracing, you can go surprisingly far though. Edited by infrasound - 17 February 2021 at 6:16pm |

the good poplar isn't cheap - if anything it's more expensive than birch. |

I am basing My choice of Finland 4 x 8 sheets as to what is stocked in Maine USA. The Poplar cored ply here has very thin Birch outer layers and is not water proof. Sort of soft too. Go Finland. Like a Rock.
